Whilst many are gearing up for NAS ( and I might do some, too) I've clambered onto the cropped Jean wagon about, oh, 6-12 months or more late! But enjoying the party !
I got a pair of BR distressed straight crops with selvedge frayed hem and am really enjoying styling them. I was NOT in the market for them and thought the ship had sailed, and wouldn't have targeted any distressing( it's not much) but there they were. I had tried a few items, crops, kick glares, this spring but didn't have time to beat the bushes.
I'm so not an expert in this styld but it seems on me they need to fit almost like skinnies, whe the slight straight aspect helps balance. Due to pear shape, I will wear them with looser tops, curved hems and the like, since they don't fit loose and straight in the hip on me as they do on skinny models, without sizing up to baggy knees. This was quite interesting to me!
